Overview
Anti-CACNG7 (extracellular) Antibody is an antibody targeting CaVγ7, Voltage-dependent calcium channel gamma-7 subunit, TARP gamma-7, Transmembrane AMPAR regulatory protein gamma-7 Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (Unconjugated). This antibody is commonly used in WB to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: CaVγ7, Voltage-dependent calcium channel gamma-7 subunit, TARP gamma-7, Transmembrane AMPAR regulatory protein gamma-7 (also reported as CaVγ7, Voltage-dependent calcium channel gamma-7 subunit, TARP gamma-7, Transmembrane AMPAR regulatory protein gamma-7).
- Immunogen/epitope region: 1st extracellular loop.
- Homology note: Rat, mouse -13/14 amino acid residues identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Human, Rat, Mouse.
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis.
- Peptide confirmation: Confirmed by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry.
- Blocking peptide: Available for antigen preadsorption control where appropriate.
- Conjugate/format: Unconjugated (may affect detection channel and background).
These attributes help researchers interpret whether signal reflects the intended target in a given assay and sample context.
Biological background
Transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory proteins (TARPs) serve as auxiliary subunits of AMPA receptors and regulate functional aspects of these receptors such as: fast excitatory synaptic transmission, surface trafficking, synaptic clustering and glutamate affinity. Generally, TARPs are responsible for regulating expression, channel properties and localization of AMPA receptors in the brain1.TARPs are non-pore-forming integral membrane proteins with four transmembrane domains that are widely expressed in the CNS. TARP family is divided in two: Type I and type II.
Research relevance and current trends
- Linking transporter/channel abundance to ionic homeostasis and excitability-related phenotypes.
- Studying compartment-specific localization (surface vs intracellular pools) and trafficking dynamics.
- Combining antibody readouts with functional assays for more complete interpretation.
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): compare target abundance/size across lysates and conditions; consider isoforms/PTMs.
Interpretation typically benefits from comparing matched sample sets (e.g., treated vs control, WT vs KO/KD) and using orthogonal readouts where feasible.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility across samples.
- Cross-species signal may depend on epitope conservation; consult the provided homology note when selecting models.
- Permeabilization, fixation, and antigen retrieval can change accessibility of intracellular vs extracellular epitopes.
- Conceptual control: antigen preadsorption (blocking peptide) can help assess signal dependence on the immunogen region.
- Provided control suggestions: Negative control: BLP-CC109.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
